A History of Place and Family in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan
https://bit.ly/WTYpask

In this podcast episode, Greg Marchildon interviews Robert Boschman on his new book White Coal City: A Memoir of Place & Family published by the University of Regina Press in 2021. Part memoir and part history, his book is a unique reflection on the continuing impact of past trauma, both familial and societal. Place is central in his account. Although Prince Albert (PA) is the focal point, the book describes the northcentral part of Saskatchewan, from Saskatoon to PA and the Mennonite and Indigenous communities in between and further north, and its difficult history of Indigenous-settler relations. Robert Boschman is currently professor and chair of the Department of English, Languages, and Culture at Mount Royal University in Calgary. He was the recipient of the Research Recognition Award from his university for his research output including White Coal City.
